Ma kro du split avec Throneum

THRONEUM (Pol)/ PAZUZU (Costa Rica) "In the Crypt of the Hakeldamach Feld" Split tape. 2018. DEMENTED OMENS OF MASOCHISM Recs.

The polish underground label D.O.O.M (Demented omens of masochism) often comes up with raw and quite barbaric black metal from the cavern, this time their obscure production is much closer to old school death metal!
The first side of the cassette contains 3 tracks of THRONEUM, a long-time running polish band. These songs globally evolve between a fast satanic death metal à la ooold MORBID ANGEL ("Altars...") or early CENTURIAN, perhaps with a little more "abstract" approach, and there are moments to be closer to the occult atmospheres you hear more often nowadays (See Grave Miasma), or slow parts teasing a more obscure atmosphere (It might remind some old Incantation, or slow Infester perhaps). The vocals are somewhat atypical, it sounds like screams or something. Sometimes the music can sound a little strange (Understand quite "fucked in the mind"), for this reason you might think about the very first ATROCITY (Ger) album (Before they explored not too metallic territories).
Well, I'm not a big fan of the last THROENUM releases I heard, perhaps it's a little too obscure and not based on the impact/ killing riffs, but according to my tastes their music sounds like decent fast Death metal with little more strange experimental touches.

I was more interested in the side of PAZUZU. They come from Costa Rica, and morbidly offer 3 songs of typically early 90's Death metal! With fast riffs à la early DEATH/ Old AUTOPSY (And a bit of old MASTER), with some crushing heaviness à la old GRAVE ("You'll never see..."), and moments of pure doom taken from early AUTOPSY (Or also perhaps very early PARADISE LOST, but their first album only). There is also a finish touch in some slow riffs or doomed "melodies"...
There are really good moments of heaviness and cavernous anger here! This recording comes with a quite "putrid" cryptic sound, and for this reason might please only the fans of underground stench, but this is worth a little effort of aural adaptation... There are very cool riffs that should please fans of real old school Death metal!
I call forth Pazuzu, I call forth god of plague,
I am the lost creature of underground darkness (AhAh)

Je te rejoins sur les dernières sorties de Throneum. Il n'y a plus spécialement l'impact bourrinesque et primitif des débuts. Mais je trouve que le groupe arrive ces derniers temps à un subtil équilibre entre primitivisme et obscurité.
Quant à Pazuzu, je suis sûr que tu vas sortir quelque chose de ce groupe !

Pour PAZUZU je pourrais, mais les démos vont déjà ressortir en CD chez DUNKELHEIT et j'ai l'impression qu'ils commencent à attirer plus gros que moi...
